Does he really think that I'm beautiful?

So I've been going out with my boyfriend for two and a bit months. We always share our feelings and talk about awkward things all the time. We have never fought and he's incredibly sweet. He says he loves me, and I believe him, because he tells me his deeper feelings and such, and they seem to comply. Now on the last few occasions when we were together, he was just looking at me with this dreamy expression while i did things (Mind out of the gutter, i mean like eat or walk or smile or talk to him) and then he'll just say. "You are so beautiful" and hug me close. Do you think that these are his real feelings?
